How to sync my remote and Nikon d3100?

I just purchased this Vivitar remote for my Nikon d3100.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N69…
I got it today in the mail, but I'm a little confused on how to sync it to my camera. I plugged it in and turned it on, but it won't take the picture. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Nikon D3100 Retouched Photos Not Showing up On Computer?

Hello there! I just got a Nikon D3100 for Christmas, and I'm such a noob. I retouched a few photos using the in camera options, and then saved them on the camera. When I pull up the photos on the memory card on my computer the retouched photos are not showing up along with the rest of the photos. If I put the memory card back in the camera and view the photos on there, the retouched photos show up just fine. What in the world am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

I have used dslr cameras a lot before (nikon d3000 and d3100) but i now want to buy one of my own.Is there any that you would recommend?

And I prefer Nikon to Canon :)

Thank You!

Video on canon camera stops recording automatically?

So normally i use a d3100 and record at 720 with no problems. But i lost my battery and had to do a video so the guy lent me his camera.

i guess its a lower end canon (Powershot SX20 IS). I dont know much about it but i got the basic down. When i tried to use the card from my nikon and record in 720 it records foor about 5 seconds and stops.It works fine at standard definition. Why would it work fine on one cam and not on the other? Do they process differently? Or id the canon detecting nikon data and getting jealous?

Also im using a 32GB class10 transcend card

Thanks a lot in advance!

Secretly, is alt/indie music the biggest music genre in the world?

Lol, this is a weird idea.

OK, so right now it might seem like R&B and the Justin Bieber crowd are the definition of 'mainstream'. But I've been thinking. Indie music is everywhere.It's used in so many TV programmes (Grey's Anatomy is a prime example), to evoke emotions in audiences.It's used in adverts to encourage people to buy things (Nikon used Radical Face recently, there are so many other examples).It's used in games too. Even in shows like the X-Factor, the performances best received by the audience seem to be the alt-indie ones (in the UK, that is, and they're usually ballads, but still indie). Even in the Olympics, the commentators noticed how all the competitors from all the different countries seemed to know the lyrics to Oasis' Wonderwall. Also, no one can hate the indie scene in it's entirety.It's impossible, because it's so versatile. You're bound to like at least one indie song (probably Chasing Cars, lol) no matter what genre you're into (except maybe death metal, I dunno… ).

So what do people think? Has indie music, like a ninja, become the biggest music genre in the world without people even noticing?

Haha I know this is ridiculous, but I'd like to see some arguments for and against! Best argument either way wins the points.
Have fun XD
Added (1). @xxhavefaithxx, I agree with you.

Someone else commented on alternative and indie being pointless terms… I kind of feel awkward using them myself, but it's usually the way I explain my music taste to friends because it's so hard to label the majority of music I like. I mean, it wouldn't be true if I said 'I like most types of music', even though the labelled 'alternative' and 'indie' music does tend to incorporate most musical styles…

And sorry to anyone who likes death metal and indie… that was a stupid throwaway comment from me, just because of someone I know… ignore that.It was a bit noob-ish ;)

What program should I use to edit my photos?

I have PhotoFiltre and PhotoMud. I really want Photoshop but just CAN'T afford it. Any free editing stuff you'd recommend? I mostly want to enhance, sharpen, brighten, etc… I don't really like "pre-made filters", I like to control the settings…
I have a Nikon D5100. I don't like the Nikon editing software, though.
Added (1). I tried gimp about a year ago… Oh dear.It was too blah and confusing for me!

Anyone have advice for a Nikon D5000?

I bought this camera more than a year ago but i feel like i still havent used it to it's full capabilities.Im still learning how to use it in dark light and too bright light, and i feel like there is something i dont understand. When i want to take a night landscape or anything in low lighting how can i adjust the settings to achieve the most stable, focused photo?
does anyone have an opinion on the lens that originally comes with this camera? if there are problems is it due to the body or the lens?
and if you have experience with this camera i would be grateful for some tips, somethings i should look out for or things i should take advantage of.

Can you do bokeh with a Nikon 1 J1?

I have the Nikon 1 J1 camera and I want to capture bokeh with it. Unfortunately I only have the 10-30mm lens, and I am wondering if it's possible to do so because I researched that you need at least a 55mm lens to capture bokeh.

I want to buy a DSLR Camera Remote Cable. Which one?

I want to buy a Cable Remote for my Canon EOS 400d. Its a very old camera.It works perfectly by the way! I was thinking of buying a Nikon MC-DC2 Camera remote control. Will it work on my camera? I badly want to take night shots with long exposure.

Problem is, the Canon remote is wireless.i wanted one with cable. :(

Will the Nikon one work with my Canon is the end question. :)

Do i need to set up my warranty?

This Christmas i received a Nikon D3100 because i study Photography.

My dad told me i need to go online and set up the warranty? Im confused by this because it already comes with 2 warranty receipts and slips, and doesn't have any information about having to go online?

Is it done and dusted or is there an online process i have to go through?

Photographers: How do YOU store and print photos.and do what you do!

I'm just getting into photography and bought a Nikon D5100. I'm looking at buying Photoshop Elements now. Can this program only be downloaded to 1 computer? I have one old desktop and a cheap laptop with no printer. Should I buy a 1TB external hard drive or just use a memory stick? I also need an inexpensive way to print photos. Can I plug an external hard drive into a photo kiosk at Walgreen's or CVS? What is generally the best way to store original and edited photos and what's the best and cheapest way to get prints? Thanks!

Should I keep the nikon 35mm f/1.8?

I have a nikon D7000 with 18-105mm and a 85mm 1.4.
I do most of my portrait work with the 85mm and use the 18-105mm as an all purpose lens. I got a 35mm 1.8 recently for indoor photos of family and friends, etc. And possibly outdoor at night.

So far I am quite disappointed with this. For example, comparing an indoor photo at f/1.8, ISO400, 1/20 to a photo from the 18-105mm at 35mm, f/3.5, ISO1000, 1/20 (with VR); I found the 18-105mm did a better job. With noise reduction in post, you can hardly tell the difference.

When taken outdoor, the 35mm shoots faster for sure, but the bokeh it produces is quite disappointing. The christmas tree behind the group is neither in focus nor out of focus. I had to stop down to f/3.5 (and higher ISO) to get a decent shot. I honestly thought the DOF would be much deeper at 35mm 1.8.
In other shots, the bokeh seems distracting rather than complimenting. (And if I have to shoot outside, the 85mm is pretty nice, even though I have to step back quite a bit to get it.)

If i want good bokeh, I use the 85mm (35mm has some bokeh, but not sure if it is worth it). If I want a group shot I prefer a greater DOF, which means the 18-105 fills the need. I really want to like the 35mm, but I don't seem to have a use for it. Should I return it?

Which of these cameras is best? - 2

I know nothing of cameras. I need a camera for high resolution, something that can record videos (with good sound), and it needs zoom that is decent. I have about $1500. I need the answer fast because Costco is having some rebates before this Saturday. Some of my friends have the Canon T3i and the pictures come out really high resolution. That's what I really want.Is there a huge difference between 24 and 18? Which of these is the best?
